THANK:(full) Lyrics

Thankful

Sometimes I just got to be

Thankful

Thankful, thankful, thankful

Thankful

Sometimes I just got to be

Thankful

Thankful, thankful, thankful

Looking at life through a shattered lens

When did it happen? I don't think it matters when

Climbing stairs up

Fair enough

I'm out of wind

Can't afford to take a breath, every step then the next

I can see a little light up ahead

Future looking bright

Though I stumble

Crumbling under pressure I'm alive still

Humbled, lost some ground, for crying out loud

I was just here

I was just clear of these issues

And now it's just fear

Well not just fear

Not clear and it's hurting

While the clock is turning

And I am questioning purpose

Pleading with the Lord to bring us home

I know that this is my fault

It is I who has hurt us

I have sinned a time too many

I called but i stalled

I'm on my back

You're telling me get up

Get up up

Get up and though you're let down and feel fed up

With yourself

With the world and your surroundings

There's a better view

With a little bit of ingenuity

Shift perspective fluently

And let it through

We might be looking through the cracks

The eye for light we never lack

Never know how long these lenses last

Fighting fear to hell and back

Fighting fear to give it hell back

Fighting fear to give it back to hell

Until it's clear I'm fighting smokescreens and mirrors

I'm stepping out for a better view

Like an out of body

Out my mind kind of trip

Can I be falling upwards this time?

Floating slowly on up

Slowly on up

Slowly on up

Ain't Minding the matter as a matter of fact

Keep my mind over that or the matter attacks

about feeding the fam more than stacking the plaques

Get that trash out my face if it ain't about tracks

Cause I'm staying on mine

Yes I'm fine, not so mad

On my mind is a lot

The time I don't got

To explain the whole thought

I ought to bandage my quickness

I manage my mental

So I manage my business

God sent me a witness

So I work on my fitness

And living within this

Heart of hearts

When I start to spark

There's no darkness

That's sharp enough to shut it out

Had some demons in my life

I had to cut em out

They would hang on by their chains

To rearrange my brain

Tried to make em all obey but I became insane

Now I'm out my mind

Don't seem to recognize what I became

I reckon I was just a slave

To addiction and to pain

They'd love to see me die in vain

The brighter flame, the Lion's Mane

He Breathes fire, inspires Truth before desire

So either way they're slain

sick and tired of dark thoughts in this waiting game

Turned in my cards no I ain't playing

Bout to jump up on the page, become a paper plane

And fly away or maybe grow some angel wings

Don't know if I'll ever truly earn em though

Praise be to God for His grace has saved

I pray / forgive to get forgiveness

messed up way more than certain folk

Duly learning woah

Turning and burnt the code

Cause the truth is a furnace

And the soul so unpurchaseable

Use to be way too personal

I learned not to be workable

Upload hope till the circuits blow

Go berserk no more circus shows

Seeing through all of these clouds of smoke

Got so used to a foggy dome

If you need me I'm probably alone

But really never solo

I'm just better at home

With my space and my angels

In this place I can take it slow

We go out in the matrix and make it glow

See the halos and the roads paved with gold

Oh we can make it so

And I'm so

Thankful

Sometimes I just got to be

Thankful

Thankful, thankful, thankful

Thankful

Sometimes I just got to be

Thankful

Thankful, thankful, thankful
